Photo Stream on NewsOK opens doors to deeper content

We’ve long wished for a good way to expose our collection of photos on NewsOK.com.

We know that photo galleries of sporting events, weather events and other breaking news events drive reader interest. We know that because traffic patterns tell us that. So we make a point to get photo galleries online as soon as we can when these events occur. We want to take you there and show you what we see.

But one thing we’ve never been able to do very well is to showcase the wider variety of photos (and articles) that we have deep in our site. I’m talking about photos and articles from all around the world about a multitude of subjects. We just didn’t have a good page for that.

Until now.

On Tuesday, we put a new display of photo thumbnails across the top of our web site. It looks something like this.

Click anywhere on that display to go to our Photo Stream presentation on NewsOK.

And yes … that second photo there on the screen shot above is none other than former American Idol Taylor Hicks. That proves how deep our content really goes. We have a recent story deep in our site about Taylor Hicks. Think about that. It might be the lone story written about him in two years.
